GLiv
GLiv is an OpenGL image viewer. Image loading is done via Gdk-pixbuf bundled with GTK+-2.6, rendering with OpenGL, and the graphical user interface uses GTK+ with GtkGLExt. GLiv is very fast and smooth at rotating, panning, and zooming if you have an OpenGL accelerated graphics board. It supports thumbnails and navigating through them using two images menus.

Changes: The Russian translation was updated and all man pages were converted to UTF-8. There are some miscellaneous build fixes too.

Changes: A bug with transitions of small images endlessly waiting for the window to resize has been fixed. The Bulgarian translation was updated, and a Swedish one was added. There are two new commands to fit the image in height or width. There is a new command line option to specify the initial window geometry. The framerate limiter is also used during transitions, which changes the transitions configuration.

Recent commentsVery nice image viewer!
That's my image viewer of choice! Essential and clean GUI, verrry fast image zoom and pan with mouse, browse/preview/select window and, even more, keystrokes, that means quick and precise operations at the cost of a minimal training.
Hope that theese guidelines will never change in future versions.
Probably the best viewer for linux..
Excellent non bloated gui and keycontrols. This is the sort of program you use for fast image browsing done the way you want it. This is one of those programs that manages to have a very broad featureset, whilst being small, fast, and emitting that "well written piece of software" feel at all times.
Best viewer...
I have never seen a cooler image viewer anywhere. Is a bit faster than even qiv, my previous favorite, and the navigation and zooming is great (especially for reading manga scans :)
It doesn't have a fancy gui interface, but it really doesn't need it.
A small nice viewer
Compiles and runs fine on my nVidia card (with
proprietary drivers). Zooming can be done with the
mouse wheel, and the zoomed picture is hardware
antialiased (very fast), so that you'd never see
single pixels.
